Investment Overview
FDH Aero is a trusted global supply chain partner for aerospace and defense companies. With more than 60 years of experience, it specializes in c-class components that include hardware, electrical, chemical, and consumable products and services for global OEM and aftermarket customers. The company has over 1,200 employees and operates in more than 14 countries across North America, EMEA and APAC.
In May 2024, NB Capital Solutions led an acquisition of a minority stake in FDH Aero to support the company’s next phase of growth. NB’s equity investment will allow FDH to continue investing across organic and inorganic initiatives and to continue to enhance the company’s value proposition to both customers and suppliers. NB believes the company has established itself as a market leader to its customers, with a demonstrated track record of organic growth, augmented by a thoughtful acquisition strategy. NB believes the investment will allow FDH to take advantage of the tremendous opportunity set in front of the business.
